The guys break down the Sounders victory as they continue on their quest for MLS Cup repeat. They ask what is next for the Whitecaps. In the second segment they preview the Sunday action of leg 2 MLS playoff action as it is win or go home time.

With the 2017 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in full swing, the guys get together to dig into Tuesday's Crew SC-NYCFC match and the three Conference Semifinal first legs already in the books. Can anyone stop Toronto FC? Are fans right to boo Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley? Can Portland cope with the loss of Diego Chara? Why can't anyone score goals in the Western Conference?

Four games and the Knockout Round down, 13 games and a season-capping trophy lift to go as the 2017 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs roll on. After two long nights – one with goals, and one without (though no shortage of drama) – the guys sit down to make sense of it all ahead of the first leg of the conference semifinals.

Segment 1 - Knockout Round review

Sorry Atlanta, Columbus are officially the darling of the MLS Cup Playoffs (4:26)

There's no better time than the present for MLS fans, and the guys are in heaven following an insane Decision Day that saw the sixth and final playoff spot change hands seven times, the Western Conference picture shuffle and the Eastern Conference go bonkers only to stay the same (somehow). Listen for analysis from the final day of the regular season, plus a Knockout Round preview that includes a few fearless predictions!

If you haven't listened to ExtraTime Radio, are you really ready for Decision Day? Prepare for the final day of the regular season with Andrew, Matt and David with a special show from the RFK Stadium press box.

There may just be one playoff spot left up for grabs -- battle royal time for San Jose Dallas and Salt Lake -- but the seeding scenarios are downright insane, with just three points separating two through five in both conferences. The guys answer all the pressing questions, then make some regular-season finale Baerantees. Sports Illustrated's Brian Straus also drops by for a mailbag full of RFK lore.

Carlos Ruiz is an absolute legend. From the sacrifices his family made in Guatemala to help him chase his soccer dream to the dark arts that helped him win championships and score goals to the MLS moments, join us for another story time segment. It is our favorite yet!

If Sunday and Countdown to Decision Day didn't get your juices flowing, you either don't like soccer or last Tuesday in Trinidad & Tobago still haunts you. It's time to at last partly move on -- but never forget -- and the guys jump in the Blue Room to talk Major League Soccer as the playoff field came one team from being set, though seeding is still up in the air, and the Landon Donovan MVP award and Golden Boot races started to clarify. Plus, a preview of MLS story time with Carlos 'Pescadito' Ruiz and the future of the US national team in the mailbag!

Segment 1 - Countdown to Decision Day

Houston Dynamo's season-changing week locks in playoff spot (3:57)

Are Sporting KC fading ... again? What will Vermes do with Dwyer money? (7:04)

Cascadia trio separate themselves as West's best ... Or did they? (12:21)

It hurts. We know. In need of self-therapy after the US national team's World Cup qualifying nightmare, Andrew Wiebe and Matt Doyle let their emotions flow on Thursday, with a little help from their friends.

After the guys break down what went wrong, commiserate over the opportunity lost for anyone who loves soccer in the United States and begin to think about what the future might bring, former USMNT star and Fox Sports pundit Alexi Lalas (19:04), Paul Tenorio (35:38) of FourFourTwo and Brian Sciaretta (45:27) of American Soccer Now chime in with their respective takes. As always, you can call or text the show at 401-206-0MLS.

What a weekend it was the US National stepped up agains Panama in their biggest moment in years, and the NY Red Bulls locked down the last of the Eastern Conference playoff spots. It was all a little too much for Andrew so he takes a breath as David, Matt, and Ben guide you through it all. What did the USA learn from their demolition of Panama? What changes do you expect in Trinidad? What positions are up for battle?

6:12 T&T Preview

In the second segment the guys investigate whether a Daniel Royer fueled Red Bulls side can threaten the top of the east, and then they both lay to rest and give hope to every MLS squad that has fallen by the wayside. Which of the 8 has disappointed the most, and which fan base has the most hope to get them through the winter.
